As if it weren’t bad enough that several major players are proposing
mutually-incompatible anti-spam (really, message-source authentication)
measures, now Sendmail has
announced it will support them all. This is terrible news: if more
MTA providers attempt to sign on in a similar way, we will
never be able to put the multiple-conflicting-implementations
genie back in the bottle. The Internet works because there are
standards; are we to return to the days of Prodigy and Compu$erve?

The city deactivated most of the pedestrian buttons long ago with the
emergence of computer-controlled traffic signals, even as an unwitting

still exist function essentially as mechanical placebos, city figures
show. Any benefit from them is only imagined.
